[source] Massive hematuria after cystoscopy in a patient with an internal iliac artery aneurysmINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, Issue 7 2002Ichiya Honma Abstract An unusual case is reported here of a patient with internal iliac artery aneurysm who developed massive hematuria after cystoscopic examination. A 75-year-old man presented with asymptomatic gross hematuria. Cystoscopic examination revealed that the bladder neck was congested and that the right-side wall was being pressed on by an extrinsic mass. Computed tomography showed a right internal iliac artery aneurysm and tortuous perivesical vessels. Three days after the cystoscopic examination the patient suffered massive hematuria. Hemorrhage due to an arteriovesical or arterio-ureteral fistula secondary to rupture of the internal iliac artery aneurysm was suspected, and an emergency operation was performed. At operation the aneurysm had not ruptured but overswelling perivesical vessels were found to have developed, and these fed a high blood flow to the bladder neck. In the present case cystoscopic examination injured the mucosa and led to massive hemorrhage from the bladder neck. [source] The iliac bifurcation device for endovascular iliac aneurysm repair: indications, deployment options and results at 1-year follow-up of 25 casesANZ JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Issue 11 2009Ravi L. Huilgol Abstract Background:, The iliac bifurcation device (William A Cook Australia, Brisbane, QLD, Australia) is a new endovascular device for iliac aneurysm repair. We review the indications for use, device characteristics, deployment options and the results of our case series. Methods:, The most common indication for deployment is endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with common iliac aneurysm repair. The standard deployment sequence can be adapted to increase the utility of the device. Data were collected prospectively. Follow-up was performed with plain X-ray, ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan. Results:, Between 2004 and 2007, 25 patients had their common iliac artery aneurysm repaired using the iliac bifurcation device. There were 23 male and 2 female patients. Median age was 75 years (range 60,85). The median follow-up was 12 months (range 1,38). Twenty-one procedures were combined with EVAR. The median abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter was 60 mm (range 31,97), and the median common iliac artery aneurysm diameter was 37 mm (range 24,71). Technical success was achieved in 100% of cases. There were no acute branch vessel occlusions. There was one early type I endoleak (4%). There was one death (4%) in the 30-day period post-procedure. There was one late type I endoleak (4%). Conclusions:, The iliac bifurcation device achieves endovascular common iliac artery aneurysm repair with preservation of internal iliac artery flow. There are multiple different applications of the device and complementary deployment techniques. High rates of technical success and low rates of branch vessel occlusion are possible.
